Conference: Fourth Biennial Meeting of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (PNW Section)

西华盛顿大学（华盛顿贝灵汉）将于2023年10月13日至15日主办工业与应用数学学会（SIAM）太平洋西北分会会议，会议网站为：https://sites.google.com/view/siampnw23/home。这个垂直整合的会议汇集了从本科生到大学、国家实验室和工业界的杰出研究人员，主要来自太平洋西北地区。这些在应用数学和计算数学前沿工作的与会者在数学科学部的许多关键优先领域都有专门知识。本次会议将(1)为交流应用和计算数学的最新进展及其在应用科学和工程领域的跨学科应用提供一个论坛；(2)促进太平洋西北地区应用和计算数学家之间新的和加强现有的合作；(3)激励本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员在应用和计算数学领域寻求职业发展。(4)鼓励来自弱势群体和小型地区大学的个人参与。三天会议期间的会谈将分成平行的专题会议（例如“小型专题讨论会”），由4 - 5个20分钟的会谈组成。预计总共将举行约80次会谈。四位杰出的全体会议发言人将就更广泛的适时议题发表长达一小时的演讲。咖啡休息时间、午餐、海报会议和招待会将促进与会者之间积极的思想交流。今年，我们预计将有许多传统应用数学和计算数学领域的主题，以及大规模优化、机器学习、人工智能、数据科学、能源可持续性和大数据挑战等新兴领域的主题。该奖项将支持学生的旅行和当地的会议费用，部分支持全体会议发言人的旅行和海报的接收。SIAM是美国最大的全国性组织，代表来自学术界和工业界的应用数学家。与SIAM年会及其国际同行国际工业与应用数学大会（ICIAM）一样，我们即将举行的太平洋西北SIAM分部双年会议将是跨学科的，并将围绕广泛的主题举行专题会议，展示太平洋西北地区应用数学研究领域的多样性。SIAM- pnw部分反映了更大的SIAM组织，计算数学在其成员的研究领域得到了很好的代表。此外，由于SIAM-PNW与太平洋西北数值分析研讨会（隔年举行）有很大的重叠，而且太平洋西北地区有如此高的高科技产业集中，依赖于先进的计算方法，我们期望有大量的主题会议，讨论计算数学社区特别感兴趣的主题。从以往会议的科学内容来看，我们可以期待有关于数值线性代数、优化、求解偏微分方程的新数值方法、图像处理、统计学、逆方法和数据同化、高性能计算、计算代数和几何以及地球科学中的数值建模和模拟的会谈和小型研讨会。今年会议的全体发言人在这些领域以及凸优化、在线算法、对抗性鲁棒性和机器学习等新兴领域都有专业知识。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Western Washington University (Bellingham, Washington) will host the Pacific Northwest Section of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) meeting October 13-15, 2023, the conference website is: https://sites.google.com/view/siampnw23/home. This vertically integrated meeting brings together individuals from undergraduates to distinguished researchers at universities, national labs, and industry, mainly from the Pacific Northwest. These conference participants, working at the forefront of applied and computational mathematics have expertise in many of the key priority areas of the Division of Mathematical Sciences. This meeting will (1) provide a forum for the exchange of recent advances in applied and computational mathematics and their interdisciplinary applications in the applied sciences and engineering, (2) foster new, and reinforce existing collaborations between applied and computational mathematicians working in the Pacific Northwest region, (3) inspire undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers to pursue careers in applied and computational mathematics, and (4) encourage participation from individuals from under-represented groups and smaller regional colleges. Talks during the three day meeting will be organized into parallel blocks of thematic sessions (e.g. “mini-symposium”) consisting of four-five 20-minute talks. A total of about 80 talks are expected. Four distinguished plenary speakers will deliver hour-long talks on broader timely topics. Coffee breaks, catered lunch and a poster session and reception will facilitate an active exchange of ideas between conference attendees. This year, we expect thematic topics on many traditional areas of applied and computational mathematics as well as topics in emerging areas of large scale optimization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, energy sustainability, and challenges of big-data. This award will support student travel and local expenses to the meeting, partially support plenary speaker travel and the poster reception. SIAM is the largest US national organization representing applied mathematicians from both academics and industry. Like the SIAM Annual meeting, and its international counterpart the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM), our upcoming Pacific Northwest SIAM Section Biennial Meeting will be interdisciplinary and will have thematic sessions on a wide range of topics showcasing the diversity of research areas in applied math in the Pacific Northwest. The SIAM-PNW section reflects the larger SIAM organization in that computational mathematics is well-represented in the research areas of its members. Moreover, because the SIAM-PNW has such as large overlap with the Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis Seminar (held in alternate years), and the Pacific Northwest has such a high concentration of high-tech industry that relies on advanced computational methods, we expect to have a significant number of thematic sessions on topics of particular interest to the computational mathematics communities. Gauging from scientific content of previous meetings, we can expect to have talks and mini-symposium sessions on numerical linear algebra, optimization, novel numerical methods for solving partial differential equations, image processing, statistics, inverse methods and data assimilation, high performance computing, computational algebra and geometry, and numerical modeling and simulation in the geosciences. The plenary speakers for this year's meeting have experise in these areas, as well as in emerging areas of convex optimization, online algorithms, adversarial robustness and machine learning.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
